I'm trying to build the cornerstone based on AOSP 4.3_r2.2. I got a lot of errors during the building like these:

I searched here and found this issue. So I know this could be missing the symbol definition problem. But when I look at the public.xml, I see they belong to different types like these:
<java-symbol type="bool" name="config_bluetooth_sco_off_call" />
<java-symbol type="bool" name="config_enableDreams" />
<java-symbol type="drawable" name="ic_suggestions_add" />
<java-symbol type="drawable" name="ic_suggestions_delete" />
<java-symbol type="id" name="backspace" />
<java-symbol type="id" name="carrier" />
<java-symbol type="id" name="dangerous_perms_list" />
...
I also found there's a script file at frameworks/base/core/res/MakeJavaSymbols.sed, it says the command
make framework 2>&1 | sed -n -f MakeJavaSymbols.sed | sort -u
can be used to generate the missing resources. I searched a lot, all I found just to run this command, and it'll output the missing parts. But I ran it, nothing happened. So my question is where and how should I add these missing symbols? There are hundreds of them, do I need to add them manually? Did I missed something? Since I'm new in AOSP framework, so please help.
Finally resolved the problem, by did these: 1. Removed the symbol definition from public.xml; 2. Replaced android.view.Surface with android.view.SurfaceControl, and WindowManagerService.DEFAULT_DIM_DURATION with WindowAnimator.DEFAULT_DIM_DURATION.
After that, I compile it succeed, and it can be run, although there still have some problems.
